2013 AIUM Award WinnersWilliam J. Fry Memorial Lecture AwardThe William J. Fry Memorial Lecture Award was established by Joseph H. Holmes, MD, in 1969 and presented for the firsttime at the AIUM Annual Convention in Winnipeg that year. (William J. Fry was a physicist with a strong interest in ultrasoundin medicine, whose innovative research efforts advanced the field of medical ultrasound.) One of Professor Fry’s mostnotable contributions was the successful design of an ultrasonic system used to pinpoint lesions in the brain without damagingadjacent tissues. This ultrasonic system was later used to treat various brain pathologies and, in particular,Parkinson disease. His impassioned interest in ultrasound led him to become president of the AIUM from 1966 until hisdeath in 1968. The following year, the William J. Fry Memorial Lecture Award was established in his honor. It recognizes acurrent or retired AIUM member who has significantly contributed in his or her particular field to the scientific progress ofmedical ultrasound.Paul L. Carson, PhDThis year, the AIUM has bestowedthe honor of the William J. FryMemorial Lecture Award on Paul L.Carson, PhD, but it is actually theAIUM that is honored to have a personof this caliber who is willing toshare his considerable talents andextensive expertise with this organization.In a few paragraphs, it’s impossibleto summarize a 108-page curriculumvitae, a full 2 pages of which is a list of the honorsand awards Dr Carson has received during his exceptionalcareer. Destined to be a leader from a young age (he waspresident of both his high school and college student bodies),Dr Carson graduated from Colorado College, followedby a fellowship at Harvard, and earned his MS and PhD inphysics at the University of Arizona.His major scientific interest has been in medicalphysics with an emphasis in ultrasound, paying particularattention to the safety of diagnostic ultrasound equipment,as well as training and teaching. A professor of biomedicalengineering at the University of Michigan, he also serves asassociate director of basic radiological sciences at this sameinstitution and is concurrent professor at Nanjing Universityin China and scientific coordinator at the QuantitativeImaging Biomarkers Alliance of the Radiological Society ofNorth America. As if those academic appointments don’tkeep him busy enough, he is currently the coinvestigatoror principal investigator (PI) for 4 major grants from theNational Institutes of Health, the National ScienceFoundation, and the Department of Defense Breast CancerResearch Program and has served as PI for dozens of fundedresearch projects over the past 4 decades.Dr Carson’s love of both teaching and research isevidenced by the numerous dissertations and masters’ thesesand projects he has supervised, plus the many postdoctoralfellows he has mentored and the visiting professors hehas hosted. Due to his nurturing, many of these exceptionalindividuals have become active in the AIUM and the field ofmedical ultrasound.A prolific writer, with literally hundreds of journalarticles, books and chapters, monographs, abstracts, andrelated communications to his credit, as well as the holder of10 patents, Dr Carson does not limit the sharing of his expertiseto academia or publishing. He has long recognized thevalue and importance of professional societies in promotingscience and is an active member of a wide variety of associations,serving on committees and often in leadership positions.His commitment to the AIUM is legendary. He hasserved on the AIUM’s Board of Governors and the EditorialBoard of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine and has beenan active contributing member for dozens of AIUM committeesand subcommittees, all with the aim of ensuring qualityand safety in diagnostic ultrasound.With his intelligence and creativity, his exceptionalleadership skills and drive, and his passion and willingness toshare his time and knowledge with others, Dr Carson has carriedon the tradition of Professor Fry and has set the perfectexample for those who will follow in his footsteps.The title of Dr Carson’s William J. Fry MemorialLecture is Ultrasonic Domination: Medical Imaging,Medicine, Daily Life.iii
2013 AIUM Award WinnersJoseph H. Holmes Basic Science Pioneer AwardThe Pioneer Award, which honors an individual who has significantly contributed to the growth and development of medicalultrasound, was established in 1977. This special award was renamed in 1982 to honor Joseph H. Holmes, MD, whodied that year. Dr Holmes, the first person named as an AIUM pioneer, was an important figure to both the field of diagnosticultrasound and the AIUM. His early efforts in ultrasound research, which included tissue characterization andultrasound’s diagnostic use in polycystic kidney disease and orthopedics, helped advance the field of ultrasound andencourage others to conduct new research. Serving the AIUM in many capacities, Dr Holmes was president from 1968 to1970 and was editor of the AIUM’s official journal, which was then titled the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, for nearly 10years. Each year, the Joseph H. Holmes Pioneer Award honors 2 current or retired AIUM members, 1 in clinical science and1 in basic science.Christy K. Holland, PhDYou wouldn’t necessarily expectthat a woman who spent her junioryear abroad at the UniversitätFreiburg and Hochschule für MusikFreiburg studying Beethoven andSchubert would be the recipient ofthe prestigious Joseph H. HolmesBasic Science Pioneer Award, butthen you would be underestimatingthe talents and breadth ofexpertise of Christy K. Holland,PhD. Dr Holland earned her bachelor’s degree in physics andmusic from Wellesley College and her PhD in engineeringand applied science from Yale University. She worked at Yaleuntil 1994 when she joined the Department of Radiology atthe University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Whileat the University of Cincinnati, she has served in theDepartment of Aerospace Engineering and EngineeringMechanics and in the Department of BiomedicalEngineering and Radiology in the College of Engineeringand Medicine. She is currently a professor in internal medicinein the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases, BiomedicalEngineering Program.Dr Holland has a long history of reviewing manuscriptsfor 9 peer-reviewed journals beginning immediatelyon graduation, as well as extensive experience reviewing formultiple national, state, and private funding agencies,including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and theNational Science Foundation. This is just one of the factorsthat led to her appointment as the editor-in-chief ofUltrasound in Medicine and Biology (UMB), the preeminentjournal of the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicineand Biology.A fellow of both the Acoustical Society of America(ASA) and the AIUM, Dr Holland has long been active incommittees and in leadership positions for both organizations.She was elected to the Executive Council of the ASAand to the AIUM’s Board of Governors and to its ExecutiveCommittee, where she served as secretary. Her particularinterest has focused on bioacoustics and bioeffects; adedicated member of the ASA’s Biomedical AcousticsCommittee, she cochaired the AIUM’s Mechanical BioeffectsConference and was a guest editor for the resulting publication,Mechanical Bioeffects from Diagnostic Ultrasound:AIUM Consensus Statements.Currently engaged in 8 separate research projectswith topics ranging from “Ultrasound-Assisted Thrombolysisfor Stroke Therapy” to “Targeted Liposomes for AcousticCardiovascular Imaging,” Dr Holland has served as principalinvestigator or coinvestigator on dozens of research grantsfrom the NIH and other organizations. With more than 85publications to her credit, Dr Holland is best known for herexceptional teaching abilities and the large number of students,postdoctoral fellows, and clinical fellows whom shehas advised. She may be musically gifted, but it is her ongoingscientific contributions to the growth and developmentof medical ultrasound for which she will be remembered.iv
